QUESTIONS REGARDING THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FAIR SHALL BE
ADDRESSED TO THE JEFFERSON COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION

Health Requirements Governing Admission of Livestock & Poultry
Health requirements for entry are those set forth by the State Department of Agriculture. In addition, the Jefferson County Fair
exercises the right to specify additional requirements in the interest of control of infectious and/or contagious diseases or in the interest
of improving the aesthetic quality of each livestock or poultry exhibit.

Recommended Animal Health Requirements
The National Show Ring Code of Ethics will be strictly
enforced by this Fair. Copies of the code will be posted in all
animal barns and available from the Fair Office.
1. Each fair should have an official Fair Veterinarian on 24 hour call.
2. Individual health certificates on Washington animals are not
required for entry. The Fair Veterinarian issues a blanket
health certificate covering all in-state entries to the Fair.
3. No animal from a quarantined area or premise will be permitted to enter the Fair or Show.
4. Out-of-state animal entries must comply with State of Washington import regulations. No exceptions, unless exempted by
rule.
5. Fair Veterinarians inspect all classes of livestock and poultry
(including but not limited to cattle, swine, horses, pet animals, rabbits, fur-bearing animals, pigeons, ducks, geese and
turkeys, etc.) before they are exhibited to determine that the
livestock and poultry show no clinical indications of contagious, infectious diseases and ectoparasites.
6. Fair Veterinarians should reject any animal with infectious
or contagious diseases or ectoparasites. Exhibitors should
be made aware that ringworm, warts, pinkeye, strangles,
contagious ecthyma, scabies, lice, mites, ticks and fleas fall

into these categories. All poultry that have been vaccinated
for ILT (Infectious Laryngotracheitis) should be rejected from
showing. Poultry infected with the field strain or the vaccine line strain of ILT can shed the virus when stressed, resulting
in other birds becoming infected.
7. The fair veterinarian’s professional decision as to the health
status of an animal must be final and be upheld by the
Fairboard. Animals exhibiting disease symptoms during the
course of the Fair will be rejected by the Fair Veterinarian
and removed from the exhibit area.
8. It is strongly recommended, but not required, that cattle be vaccinated in the current show year against the respiratory diseases.
9. Fair veterinarian will check out-of-state exhibitors for proper
import documents and required testing.
10. Animals will be brought to the inspection areas and times are
listed in each animal department.
11. All animal exhibitors shall be responsible for the humane care
and showmanship of their animals. Failure to comply may
result in dismissal from the Fair and loss of premiums.
12. Death of an animal or bird on the fairgrounds is the owner’s
responsibility.

authorized by the Jefferson County Fair Association. Any unscheduled or unauthorized gatherings are not allowed.

State Fair Participation: To be eligible to participate in the
State 4-H Fair, members must have been selected in designated
county events (designated events to be determined by the county). Jefferson County may have classes not held at the State
4-H Fair, so it must be recognized that not every item receiving
a blue ribbon at county may be eligible to be shown at the State
4-H Fair. Only items for which there are classes and lots in the
State 4-H Fair Premium Book may be exhibited.
PREMIUMS: Premiums are monies awarded for all exhibits
that have earned a ribbon at the Fair. Premium points are
assigned for each ribbon earned. The amount of points varies
depending on the article, activity or department in which the
exhibit or exhibitor is entered. In the premium book each number indicates the points you will receive for a Blue (B), Red (R)

or White (W) ribbon in that particular department. Each point
is worth a small amount of money that may vary from year to
year. The value of the points will be determined after the Fair,
based on total points awarded and monies allocated for premiums. Exhibits are judged by the “Danish System”. Under the
Danish System, judges evaluate each exhibit judged on its own
merits (not by comparison) and may give more than one Blue,
Red, and White ribbon in each lot. Participation ribbons may be
awarded with designated premium points.
Premium Points Window: In activities that are held more than
two (2) weeks before or two (2) weeks after the Jefferson County
Fair dates, the participants will receive ribbon awards only.
General Fair Rules: 4-H members will be required to follow all General Rules of the Jefferson County Fair (see Open
Class Premium Book).
4-H Premium Book Changes: If there are any changes or
updates for the Premium Book after the book is published
online, the changes will be sent out in a 4-H email and be
changed on the Jefferson County Fair website.
Premium Checks: Premium checks will be issued only to
4-H exhibitors who earn at least $2.00 in premiums. Be
sure to enter enough items or participate in activities during
the Fair so you earn enough points to receive a check! Premium checks will be delivered to in county 4-H’ers main 4-H
club leader after September 15. All out of county 4-H checks
will be mailed. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to make
sure their address is correct and complete. If you would like
to donate your premium monies to the Fair please notify the
Superintendent or Fair Office. Notify the Fair Office immediately if you have any questions regarding your premiums.
Any checks not cashed by December 31 of current year
will be considered a donation by the payee to the JCFA.
After December 31 checks will not be issued or re-issued.

with the 4-H program or unethical or destructive behavior

4-H/FFA Quality Animal Care Pledge

The purpose of my participation in the Jefferson County Fair is to strengthen my
own knowledge, ability and skill as a feeder, manager, trainer, caregiver and
exhibitor of animals and to develop my sense of responsibility and good character.

If my project includes food production animals, my goal is to produce safe and
wholesome food.
I will do my own project work to the best of my ability.
I will not use or allow abusive, fraudulent or illegal practices or products in the
feeding, care, fitting, training and showing of my animals.
I will not misrepresent my animals or myself in any way.
I will read, understand and follow the rules, without exception, of animal shows
in which I am a participant and ask that my parents and 4-H Leader/FFA advisor
do the same.
My animal project is an example of how to accept what life has to offer, both
good and bad, how to live with outcome. I will treat other people’s animals with
the same respect and care I give to my own animals.
I realize that I am responsible for the proper care and safe humane treatment of
my animals. I realize that I am responsible for demonstrating strong moral fiber
and good character as an example to others.
I will voice my objections to events related to my participation by using the protest
policy described in the premium book. I will not directly interfere with the
judge, show management or other exhibitors before, during and after the event.
I accept that failure to uphold this commitment could result in forfeiture of my
right to participate in the4-H/FFA program.
